We Will Be Strong

[Verse 1]

Pity the fool

It's hard, but he broke a rule

And that isn't done

Somehow, some day, brother will use a gun

Just walkin' the town

Just paintin' it sad

It's bringin' me down

It's drivin' me mad

Woman is away from me

[Chorus]

We will be strong (We will be strong)

I know we have the strength to carry on (We have the strength)

I know my rights from wrong (I know my rights)

I know you've lost, I've won

We will be stronger (We will be strong)

And gettin' stronger every day

Believe me when I say it

There is no other way to convey it (No other way)

[Verse 2]

You clown

Your thoughtlessness has brought us down

And that isn't right

That we should walk alone on the streets at night

Just checkin' the time

Walkin' that very fine line

The humour is black

The plan is attack

Woman is away from me

[Chorus]

But we will be strong (We will be strong)

I know we have the strength to carry on (We have the strength)

I-I know my rights from wrong (I know my rights)

I know you've lost, I've won

We will be stronger (We will be strong)

And gettin' stronger every day

Believe me, ma-mama, when I say it

There is no other way to convey it

No, no, no, no

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Down on your luck

The shock, it has struck

The weak ones will die

The questions are why, why?

Does anybody hear?

Does anybody understand?

Let me make it clear

Now's the time to take a stand

Now woman is away from me

[Chorus]

But we will be strong (We will be strong)

I know we have the strength to carry on (We have the strength)

I know my rights from wrong (I know my rights)

I know you've lost, I've won

We will be stronger (We will be strong)

And gettin' stronger every day

Believe me when I say it

There is no other way to convey it

We will be strong (We will be strong)

I know we have the strength to carry on (We have the strength)

I know my rights (I-I-I-I-I know my rights)

I know you've lost, I've won

[Outro]

We will be strong, we will

We will be strong, we will be (I)

We will be strong, we will (I)

We will be strong, we will be

We, we will

We, oh, we will be

We, we will

We will be strong

We will be strong
